HDR on PC hasn't improved much in 2019. Despite there being more HDR gaming monitors than ever before, the very best gaming monitors for HDR continue to be quite expensive compared to non-HDR monitors, and the situation around Windows 10 support for it is still a bit of a mess. However, provided you're willing to fight through all that, then the next step on your path to high dynamic range glory is to get an HDR compatible graphics card.

Below, you'll find a complete list of all the Nvidia and AMD graphics cards that have built-in support for HDR, as well as everything you need to know about getting one that also supports Nvidia and AMD's own HDR standards, G-Sync Ultimate and FreeSync 2. I've also put together a list of all the PC games that support HDR as well, so you know exactly which PC games you can start playing in high dynamic range.

Rebellion buy another studio, TickTock Gameshttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rebellion-buy-ticktock-gamesAlice O'ConnorThu, 03 Jan 2019 16:18:53 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rebellion-buy-ticktock-gamesthe consolidation of the games industryBlockbusterRogue Trooper ReduxStrange BrigadeSniper Elite 4BusinessTic Toc Gamesrebellion

Rebellion, the English developers and publishers behind games including Sniper Elite and Strange Brigade (as well as the galaxy's greatest comic, 2000 AD), have added a fourth studio to their fold. They announced today that they've bought TickTock Games, the Yorkshire mob who had previously chipped in on Rebellion projects including Rogue Trooper Redux. Rebellion North is now their name (no they haven't moved to Edinburgh, nor Dundee), and they're already contributing to several of Rebellion's mysterious upcoming games. Nice to see a company still growing and taking on new employees in these days of woe.

Skellington bothering co-op shooter Strange Brigade is out nowhttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/co-op-shooter-strange-brigade-outDominic TarasonTue, 28 Aug 2018 21:11:57 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/co-op-shooter-strange-brigade-outShooterStrange BrigadeZombie Army TrilogyAction Adventurerebellion

Ah, the undead. Nobody likes them, really. Not even the vampires - far too pretentious. Those wanting a fresh opportunity to put the walking dead firmly back in their graves may be well served by Strange Brigade - Rebellion's 1930s pulp adventure-themed squad shooter, which is out now.

Designed for four player co-op (though playable solo), players control a globe-trotting band of magic-wielding, gun-toting adventurers who specialise in looting forgotten tombs and putting grumpy old pharaohs back to bed.  Below, a plummily narrated launch trailer. Tally ho, and all that!

Get three free games when you buy a new AMD graphics cardhttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/amd-radeon-rx-570-580-vega-free-pc-gamesKatharine CastleWed, 08 Aug 2018 13:50:15 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/amd-radeon-rx-570-580-vega-free-pc-gamesAMDStrange BrigadeAMD Radeon RX 500 SeriesAssassin's Creed OdysseyStar Control: OriginsHardwareGraphics CardsAMD RX Vega

Good news, potential graphics card buyers. Now that the world's supply of affordable GPUs have been ripped back from the cold, dead hands of the global crypto-mining community, AMD have announced they're going to start bundling in some free games with new graphics card purchases again - specifically, upcoming Greek stab'em up Assassin's Creed Odyssey, mythological co-op shooter Strange Brigade, and space action RPG Star Control: Origins.

It's not just one game you get either. Nope, you get all three when you buy an AMD Radeon RX 570, an AMD Radeon RX 580 (our current recommendation for playing games at 1440p in our  graphics card rankings) or one of AMD's shiny 4K-pushing Vega cards.

Strange Brigade dev playthrough shows off spooky puzzleshttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/strange-brigade-dev-playthrough-shows-off-spooky-puzzlesBrock WilburSun, 17 Jun 2018 21:03:34 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/strange-brigade-dev-playthrough-shows-off-spooky-puzzlesShooterStrange BrigadeMOBAZombie Army TrilogyRebellionE3 2018

There were perhaps too many games at E3 2018 for any one person to have caught them all. That's why we're still trying to cover videos and reveals a week later. I accidentally typed "a year later" because that's how it feels. I'm fine; we're all fine here. One of the sleeper hits of the show on my end was Strange Brigade. I always super-dig what Rebellion puts out, but I wasn't feeling this one before E3. Then I got to see a supernatural co-op shooter with puzzles and third-person combat in gigantic levels. Now I'm intrigued. And there's a little bit of a Clive Barker's Jericho vibe I'm getting here, which is equally exciting.

Strange Brigade sizes up E3 in a stiff-upper-lipped trailerhttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/strange-brigade-new-pre-e3-trailerDominic TarasonThu, 07 Jun 2018 21:44:29 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/strange-brigade-new-pre-e3-trailerShooterE3PartyStrange BrigadeZombie Army TrilogyAction AdventureRebellion

Mummies! They're like zombies, but easier to clean up once you're finished with them, at least according to Strange Brigade's new gameplay trailer. The cooperative 1930s-set shooter isn't far off now - due out at the end of August - but Rebellion have apparently got one last PR blitz in them before E3 swallows all and everything blurs into one nightmare gaming haze. Within, a very pulp serial trailer, featuring one of the most cheerfully bombastic narrators around.

Strange Brigade breaking out of sarcophagus in Augusthttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/strange-brigade-release-dateBrendan CaldwellTue, 24 Apr 2018 14:23:29 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/strange-brigade-release-dateAction AdventureRebellionStrange Brigade

Why didn’t the Mummy go to the party? Because she had no body to oh no I’ve fudged it. Forever getting my skellingtons and mummies mixed up, me. But here are four Egyptologists less likely to misclassify their cadavers. Strange Brigade was announced last summer - a pulpy 4-player shoot ‘n’ loot set in a 1930s of unapologetic empire maintenance. You play a group of artefact stealers fighting against lots of dusty proto-zombos. Today, Rebellion (developers of Sniper Elite and the Nazi Zombie Army spin-offs) have announced a release date of August 28, and blown the tomb dust off a story trailer, which lurks below.

Real talk: the only opinions I'm capable of having right now are related to ice creams that will see me through the UK's unfamiliar hot weather. That's why my emotions towards Rebellion's next game, Strange Brigade [official site] are pretty much just "WHY ARE YOU NOT AN ICE CREAM?" Instead of being a delicious Twister, Strange Brigade is determined to be a third-person adventure thingy for 1-4 players set in a 1930s explorer kind of world. It's all ancient evil and dirigibles and Egyptology and British Empire this and that. Aesthetically it reminds me of films like The Mummy - the one with Brendan Fraser, not the reboot with Tom Cruise which is confusing me every time I pass the local cinema - or the Tintin comics from around the 1930s. Maybe even a '50s rendition of the '30s?

Rebellion's Strange Brigade is a pulpy co-op shooterhttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rebellion-announce-strange-brigadeAlice O'ConnorWed, 07 Jun 2017 13:08:19 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rebellion-announce-strange-brigadeStrange BrigadeSniper Elite 4Zombie Army TrilogyAction AdventureRebellion

Rebellion, the studio behind the Sniper Elite and Nazi Zombie Army games, have announced a new class-based shooter for 1-4 players with all the sights, fights, and colonial stereotypes of 1930s pulp adventures. Strange Brigade [official site] is its name, and shooting monsters is its game. As adventurers with different abilities, players will kick in the doors to "forgotten civilisations" and "treacherous tombs" to fight undead nasties, anthropomorphic animal monsters, and maybe even Anubis (or one of his bros). Here, have a look in the announcement trailer:
